The upper bowl was curtained off and the lower bowl was 60 percent full. Mostly families. A lot of John Cena march among the crowd and it was obvious most of the kids were there to see him.<\/p>\n<p>(1) American Alphas retained their titles in a tag team turmoil match that lasted around half an hour.\u00a0Order of elimination:<\/p>\n<p>(a) Breezango defeated Heath Slater &amp;\u00a0Rhyno after Fandango rolled up Rhyno after Breeze was hit with the Gore.<\/p>\n<p>(b) Alphas eliminated Breezango with a Steiner Brothers bulldog from the top.<\/p>\n<p>(c) Alphas eliminated the Vaudevillians when Jordan hit an Angle Slam on Aiden English.<\/p>\n<p>(d) Alphas eliminated The Ascension when Gable pinned Victor after a rollover German suplex.<\/p>\n<p>(e) Alphas eliminated The Usos via Grand Amplitude. Usos got the biggest reaction of all the tag team. At one point there were dueling &#8220;Let&#8217;s go Usos\/Alphas&#8221; chants. Great false finishes in the last match.<\/p>\n<p>(2)\u00a0Alexa Bliss defeated Becky Lynch to retain the Smackdown Women&#8217;s Title thanks to a handful of tights. Becky got a good face reaction.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3134433418\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>(3) James Ellsworth superkicked Curt Hawkins and pinned him in 11 seconds. No reaction for either. Crowd did enjoy the comedy aspect after two title matches.<\/p>\n<p>(4) Baron Corbin pinned Kalisto after End of Days. Lucha is extremely over with the kids. Corbin was hated. Their basic match they do on every loop. Fun.<\/p>\n<p>(5) Dolph Ziggler pinned The Miz in a wonderful 24-minute steel cage non-title match after Maryse accidentally slammed the cage door on her husband&#8217;s face and Ziggler nailed the IC champ with a superkick. Both men put in work and it showed. The crowd hated Miz. Very entertaining in an old-school type way.<\/p>\n<p>Intermission<\/p>\n<p>(6) Nikki Bella pinned Natalya after Carmelo interfered, Nikki threw Natalya into her and then hit a TKO for the win.<\/p>\n<p>(7) The Wyatt Family (Wyatt, Orton &amp; Harper) beat Apollo Crews, Jack Swagger and Mojo Rawley. Crowd chanted &#8220;We want Randy&#8221; when he was on the apron and &#8220;RKO&#8221; when he was in the match. Completely overshadowed the rest of the guys.<\/p>\n<p>(8) A.J. Styles defeated Dean Ambrose and John Cena in a triple threat match to retain the WWE Championship in 19 minutes. Styles brought a chair in the ring and nailed Cena. Ambrose kicked him and went for Dirty Deeds on the chair but Styles hit him low and pinned him with a small package. After the match Cena gave him the Attitude Adjustment to send the fans home happy.<\/p>\n<p>FINAL THOUGHTS: The cage match and the triple threat were both great house show matches.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3787151785\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"entry-title\"><strong>NOW CHECK OUT THIS RECENT REPORT:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2016\/12\/29\/1229-wwe-boston-mass-mcmahons-person-report-reigns-vs-owens-u-s-title-sami-vs-braun-seth-vs-jericho-swann-vs-neville\/\">12\/29 WWE in Boston, Mass.: McMahon\u2019s in-person report on Reigns vs. Owens for U.S. Title, Sami vs. Braun, Seth vs. Jericho, Swann vs. Neville<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em><strong>Please send any news tips and results to: pwtorch@gmail.com.<\/strong>\u00a0For instance, let us know if you hear a pro wrestling reference on a popular talk show, see a pro wrestling related Tweet or Instagram from celebrity, hear an ad for matches advertised for an upcoming WWE event, or anything else pro wrestling related that\u2019d be of interest to our readers.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>If you attend a live event, please send results.<\/strong>\u00a0We don\u2019t set up correspondents ahead of time and count on readers like you to send an email with a report on live events you attend \u2013 not just WWE, but also ROH, NXT, international groups. and anything else.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-838635396\"><div id=\"pwtor-1335785533\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>WWE LIVE EVENT REPORT &#8211; SMACKDOWN BRAND DECEMBER\u00a030, 2016 MIAMI, FLA.
